We have a no longer usable old food processor, any good ideas for repurposing the motor? I'm guessing its not the ideal candidate for powering a grain mill?

Just received the freezer from homedespot, and I can't squeeze 4 on the floor. Can I try to bend a dent into the side of the hump without riskinga coolantl ine?

Since most people use foil rather than an airlock, would a straight sided beaker be ok for stirplate starters? I've found a 4L beaker far cheaper than a flask, and it seems less like to boil over. Opinions?

Anyone have good stats on potential and moisture for canned pumpkin puree to enter as a grain in beersmith?

Can I safely drill a gas line hole in the side of a regular fridge or is there a risk of hitting anything?

So due to my own negligence, I let my mash get to about 180. First 15 minutes were at 152 I checked and temp was down 2 degrees so I lit the burner super low. This is onlythe 2nd brew on this system. Last time it was a much colder day and that maintained. This time it got too high. I...

Just got a free 50lb bag of us 2 row with a mill purchase. Had been planning a belgian pale. Really bad idea to use us 2row instead of pils?

I did my first partigyle 3 weeks ago (wee heavy & 70 shilling) The wee heavy started at 1.112 after a 156 mash and 90 min boil. I pitched the slurry from a 2l starter of wyeast scottish ale and oxygenated for 45 seconds thru a diffusion stone. I fermented at 68 and it stopped at 1.050 after 2...

Anyone experimented with brett or lacto in a mead or braggot?

Going to be spending a Saturday night in Minneapolis, any microbrewery/restaurants especially recommended?

So what do most people use for the kettle/mlt return end of the tubing from the pump? I'd rather not drill another hole in each keg and have welded in additional couplers, but I can't have loose hoses flopping around, either.

I have a basic single tier stand in the works, I'm looking for some advice on the keg conversions, in terms of what hardware each piece needs. HLT: This needs a valve, a pickup tube and a thermometer. How helpful is a sightglass? I was thinking on of the bobbym combo's might make sense here...

My first mead was started back on Mar 27. OG was 1.102. I used a pack of Lalvin D47 and added nutrient in three separate additions. Its been kept around 70degrees. The gravity has been at 1.022 since May 21st. Is it done? Does that seem reasonable for this yeast? Would it be a mistake to...

Due to a screwup, my roggen(rye) fell to 54 degrees on day 2 of fermentation for about 24 hrs before I realized (WLP300 hefe yeast). I moved it to a warmer location and it's up to 68, but its already at 1.020, and the kreusen fell. Bubble activity is almost nil, and there is a bit of sulphur...

While i dont need a stinkin beer gun, I got one for my birthday. I don't have a spare co2 port, what's the easiest way to make one of the ports I have modular, so i can detach a keg and attach the c02 purge line of the beergun withouth having to undo hose clamps?

I'm new to kegging. Is there any reason not to or special technique to kegging part (3g) of a batch in a 5g corny?

I brewed an american amber ale, dry hopped, then gelatin and chilled. It was crystal clear as I racked into the sanitized corney. Its been on 20psi gas for about 4 days, and isn't fully carbed, but when i pour, it isn't crystal clear anymore, even after sitting in the glass. I don't think...

Last time i made a wheat beer with wyeast 3068, I saved some of the starter slurry in a boiled bottle, covered it with sanitized foil and put it in the fridge. its been almost 2 months. I wasnt sure if it was viable, so last tuesday boiled up some DME and made a starter. By the next morning...

I found a used kenmore kegerator for sale for $200. Think its worthwhile since I have no spare fridge or kegging equipment?
